Tom Vincent's Double Fundraising Challenge

To raise money for Brill School PTA, Tom Vincent, father of Bella and Joseph who attend Brill school, will be undertaking two physical challenges which we hope you can support.

We have been made aware that the school are looking at buying guided reading books for all children in KS2. This will benefit all our children as they move up through the school. These texts are used to enrich and support the literacy curriculum on a daily basis and these funds raised will then help to provide each child with their own copy of these texts. The school are currently having to photocopy passages and pages from books, but new guidance and research suggests that to promote a love for reading and to enrich writing outcomes, pupils should have their own copy of the book wherever possible.

Therefore, Tom will be carrying out 2 challenges in 2023 to raise money for Brill School resources.
The first event, starting on the 17th March 2023, is a self-induced challenge centred in Oakley. He will be running 4.17 miles (6.7km) every hour for 24 hours – a total of 100miles. However long the run each hour takes, he will have the remaining time to rest, eat and recover. During the dead of night, he might even be able to get the odd 5-minute powernap! The furthest he has ever ran in one go is 64 miles, so this is a step into the unknown and is going to be extremely physically and mentally demanding.

The second challenge is an Ironman Triathlon in Cork, Ireland on the 20th August 2023. The Ironman distance triathlon involves swimming 2.4 miles (3.8km), cycling 112 miles (180km) before running 26.2 miles (42km). The swim takes place off the south coast of Ireland in the Atlantic Sea, before riding around undulating coastal roads and fishing villages. The 112miles will include over 6,000ft of elevation. The event finishes with a marathon in the ancient 5th century town of Youghal.

Any support or donations towards this cause would be amazing.

Thank you

We are really looking forward to welcoming everyone tonight. Tickets are still available if you haven’t managed to get your ticket yet.
